BIOGRAPHIC SKETCH Richard Durardo grew up in the Boyle Heights section of East Los Angeles. He received his formal art education from Pasadena City College where he specialized in printmaking. In 1973 he transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles where he earned a B.A. in graphic design in 1976. Duardo spent 1977 as an apprentice to master printer Jeff Wasserman and in 1978 he founded Hecho en Aztlán, the first Chicano-owned serigraphy studio in Los Angeles. It was here that Duardo would first collaborate with other artists such as Carlos Almaraz and John Valadez to produce a series of prints. Duardo’s entrepreneurship into art is not exclusive to printmaking; he has arranged the publishing of the works of the late fashion editor Antonio López and has ventured as far as launching an independent record label and a furniture design business. After exploring other ventures such as these, Duardo branched out from his original serigraph business to create Future Perfect Publishing, a contract silkscreen pint studio. Other offshoots include Art & Commerce and Modern Multiples, Inc. Duardo’s graphic design and expert skill in printmaking is internationally recognized and he has been called the best serigraph artist in Los Angeles. In 1988 the California Arts Council named him Artist of the Year. Along with printmaking, Duardo has been commissioned for commercial art projects, including album covers for musicians such as Jackson Browne and Yanni. SCOPE NOTE This collection contains 53 silkscreen prints, including 30 prints by Richard Duardo and 23 prints by other artists such as Carlos Almaraz, Barbara Carrasco, Leo Limón, Carmen Lomas Garza and John Valadez. The catalog is arranged as follows: the prints of Richard Duardo are catalogued first, followed by those prints of other artists; “Artist Unknown” are first which are arranged alphabetically the title, followed by identified prints arranged by artist’s last name, and then alphabetically by title within the same artist’s names. There are selective numbers of progressives included and identified as these are illustrative of the individual screens used to create the composite work. 3 CATALOG OF SILK SCREENS 1.

Francis Grades: ECE - 2nd Implementation Time: 2-3 weeks Published 2002 Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project Loyola A. Martinez, Project Director Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado ABOUT THE ALMA PROJECT The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project was made possible with funding from a Goals 2000 Partnerships for Educating Colorado Students grant awarded to the Denver Public Schools in July 1996. The Project is currently being funded by the Denver Public Schools. The intent of the Project is to have teachers in the Denver Public Schools develop instructional units on the history, contributions, and issues pertinent to Latinos and Hispanics in the southwest United States. Other experts, volunteers, and community organizations have also been directly involved in the development of content in history, literature, science, art, and music, as well as in teacher training. The instructional units have been developed for Early Childhood Education (ECE) through Grade 12. As instructional units are developed and field-tested, feedback from teachers is extremely valuable for making any necessary modifications in the topic development of future units of study. Feedback obtained in the spring of 1999, from 48 teachers at 14 sites, was compiled, documented and provided vital information for the field testing report presented to the Board of Education.

We are writing to express our strong support for the designation of the building proposed by Highland Park Heritage Trust as a Historic Cultural Monument: the Centro de Arte Publico located at 5605-5607 North Figueroa Street; The building that housed the Centro de Arte Publico serves as an important reminder of the history of the Chicano Movement in Highland Park and the artists who contributed to it with their creativity. The Centro de Arte Publico also housed ChismeArte that featured Chicano writers and was a driving force for Chicana feminism. It is essential that this history not be erased. The stories of these artists and of their contributions must not disappear. Latinxs cultural contributions and stories must be preserved. Throughout the City of Los Angeles buildings and murals that were important to the Chicano Movement are under threat of demolition or defacement. The designation of the Centro de Arte Publico will preserve it for future generations. Many important Chicano and Chicana artists called the Centro de Arte Publico home. The Centro was founded here in Highland Park by Carlos Almaraz, Guillermo Bejarano and Richard Durado. John Valadez, Barbara Carrasco, Dolores Cruz, Judithe Hernandez, Beto De La Rocha, Carlos Almaraz, Frank Romero, Richard Durado and Guillermo Bejarano were some of the artists associated with the Centro de Arte Publico. ChismeArte became an important vehicle for Chicana feminism.

Being Edward James Olmos: Culture Clash and the Portrayal of Chicano Masculinity Abstract This paper analyzes how Culture Clash problematizes Chicano masculinity through the manipulation of two iconic Chicano characters originally popularized by two films starring dwarE d James Olmos - the pachuco from Luis Valdez’s Zoot Suit (1981) and the portrayal of real-life math teacher Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver (1988). In “Stand and Deliver Pizza” (from A Bowl of Beings, 1992), Culture Clash tries to introduce new Chicano characters that can be read as masculine, and who at the same time, display alternative behaviors and characteristics, including homosexual desire. The three characters in “Stand and Deliver Pizza” represent stock icons of Chicano masculinity.

  • The Woman in the Zoot Suit: Gender, Nationalism, and the Cultural Politics of Memory, by Catherine S
    BOOK REVIEWS The Woman in the Zoot Suit: Gender, Nationalism, and the Cultural Politics of Memory, by Catherine S. Ramírez (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2009. 229 pp. Paper, $22.95.) Reviewed by María Angela Díaz ccording to historian Catherine S. Ramírez, women are conspicuously ab- sent from the story of the World War II era, the zoot suit, and the creation Aof Chicano cultural nationalism. In The Woman in the Zoot Suit: Gender, Nationalism, and the Cultural Politics of Memory, Ramírez admirably sets out to correct this problem through her discussion of pachucas and their involvement in zoot-suit culture as well as the 1942 Sleepy Lagoon case and the Zoot-Suit Riots. While recent studies such as Luis Alvarez’s The Power of the Zoot: Youth Culture and Resistance During World War II address the suit’s importance to Mexican Americans and other ethnic and racial groups, Ramírez creatively links the zoot-suit culture of the 1940s with the Chicana/o artists of later de- cades to reveal how these artists redefined the pachuco and the zoot suit, mak- ing both icons of Chicano/a culture. She demonstrates that women were not simply hangers-on, but were integral to the formation of this culture, and that Chicana feminists used the memory of the pachuca in poetry and art to create their own version of Chicano/a nationalism that did not cast them as strange or beyond the scope of proper Chicano/a gender roles. The first of the book’s two sections focuses on the World War II era and American nationalism, while the second emphasizes the movement-era develop- ment of Chicano/a nationalism.

  • Excerpted from Kathy Peiss, Zoot Suit: the Enigmatic Career of an Extreme Style (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011)
    Excerpted from Kathy Peiss, Zoot Suit: The Enigmatic Career of an Extreme Style (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 6 For JTASZooting Around use the World only ‘‘ ome authorities feel that the only thing to do is to let the whole myste- rious business wear itself out and disappear through inner exhaus- Stion of its possibilities,’’ reported Agnes Meyer in the wake of the Los Angeles riot.1 In fact, it was much harder than those authorities thought to shrug off the zoot suit. During the war and for decades there- after, this style traveled across time and place, appealing to youths whose lives otherwise diverged. It turned up in wartime Great Britain and Aus- tralia, despite orders by their governments to conserve cloth for the du- ration. Bahamian farm hands, brought to Florida to pick crops, surprised their hosts by appearing in zoot suits. Canada had its own versions of zoot-suit unrest in the summer of 1944, and in occupied France, zazous sporting long coats and narrow trousers outraged officials. After the war, young people in other countries—from the stiliagi of the Soviet Union to the tsotsis of South Africa—picked up and adapted elements of an extreme style that had originated in American culture. The zoot suit was never a leading cultural product or intentional export of the United States in an era when the nation’s films, music, and consumer goods were reaching around the globe. Yet this seem- ingly ephemeral fashion traveled to many places during and after World War II. It is a telling example of a commodity that circulated 158 Chapter 6 without marketing campaigns and advertising but rather along ob- scure routes and through informal networks of influence—a process that has likely been more common than studies of consumer culture have recognized.

  • Art for La Causa
    Art for La Causa The civil rights era of the 1960s, in which marginalized groups demanded equal rights, dramatically altered American society. Galvanized by the times in which they lived, Latino artists became masters of socially engaged art, challenging prevailing notions of American identity and affirming the mixed indigenous, African, and European heritage of Latino communities. Many artists reinvigorated mural and graphic traditions in an effort to reach ordinary people where they lived and worked. Whether energizing genres like history painting, or creating activist posters or works that penetrated bicultural experiences, Latino artists shaped and chronicled a turning point in American history. The Latino Civil Rights movement began around the same time as the African American Civil Rights movement during the 1960s. The Latino community founds its voice in civil rights activist Cesar Chavez in their quest for equality. Chavez, inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., implemented peaceful protest strategies in the effort to expand civil and labor rights for Latinos. The marches, strikes, and fasts that Chavez and others employed aided in raising awareness of unfair labor practices, such as low wages and poor working conditions facing the Latino community. These issues became compelling motivation for Latino artists to use their talents to raise awareness and engage others for La Causa. Their artwork, which began as an expression of public art forms, fueled ongoing political activism and a greater sense of cultural pride. Political banners and posters carried during marches and protests were some of the first art forms of the movement. While Emanuel Martinez’s Farm Workers Altar is an excellent example of early public art of the movement, Carmen Lomas Garza’s Camas para Sueños exudes cultural pride in depicting a scene of everyday life in a Mexican American family.

  • Hispanic Art in Texas Teacher Resource 2
    ART, IDENTITY, CULTURE TEJANO CULTURE IN EARLY TEXAS AND CONTEMPORARY ART LESSON ONE ART AND REPRESENTATION BEFORE THE LESSON It is important for students to be able to critically evaluate what they see, particularly as this relates to the representation of culture. Without a critical eye, students may accept stereotypical interpretations and not strive for accurate representations of peoples and cultures. OVERVIEW In this lesson, students identify and discuss how examples of Early Texas Art represent Tejano culture, comparing works for the ways that they construct their subjects. They will consider the social and historical conditions under which the images were made and offer plausible explanations for the paintings' meanings. Finally, they will evaluate what primary sources are necessary to investigate culture appropriately. In doing so, the students identify the tools that they will use in the remaining lessons. OBJECTIVES STUDENTS WILL: Interpret images for their meaning Compare different images for their meanings Employ terms introduced in the unit (Tejano, Anglo, culture, identity, representation, stereotype) Compose a plausible extension for each image Evaluate resources needed for more complete interpretations of the images HISTORICAL INFORMATION These three paintings represent different periods of Texas history. Theodore Gentilz's painting was created in the Republic of Texas (1836-1845). Gentilz was a Frenchman who moved to San Antonio in 1843 and painted the city's diverse cultures as he saw them. The image seen here represents a fandango dance. José Arpa made his image in 1929, just before the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Tejanos at this time experienced discrimination and schools were segregated.

  • Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E
    Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E. to 2017 C.E. A Guide to the Exhibition by Noel Dorsey Vernon A STUDENT EXHIBITION GUIDE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY -- 11/12/17 (NDV) Author's Note This guide supports the art exhibition “Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary)” held at Skyline Community College in November 2017, celebrating Latino Heritage Month. Many thanks to the administration and faculty of Skyline College for hosting and supporting it. Many thanks also to Arthur Takayama, Lorenzo Hernández and Cristina Hernández for organizing this exhibition. I am indebted to all of them for agreeing that a gallery guide might be of use and permitting me to author it. Thanks also to Professor Carlos Ugalde for taking the time to author "Comments on Art by Professor Carlos Ugalde for Lorenzo Hernández " which is included in this Exhibition Guide. My own background in Mexican and Hispano-American history is far less than was necessary to take on this project, so I spent a lot of time reading, looking at art, listening and asking questions. I had studied the history of Mexico many years ago in Guanajuato, Mexico, although my greatest interest was in Mexico's Pre-Columbian urban heritage. As a professor and Associate Dean of Environmental Design (now a Professor Emerita) in the CSU system, I was able to incorporate some this information into my landscape architecture history courses. I also am aware that much that has been written in English about Mexican art history was written by non-Mexicans. This has resulted in the misunderstanding that Mexican art history has been driven almost entirely by Western European art movements, styles and artists.
